True, though democracy would still be utilized under anarchist governments (though that's admittedly better than the State using it).

6. I agree that the state exists to monopolize territory and resources, protect an artificially privileged ruling class, expand its own power and subjugate and exploit subjects.

I agree that property as it is currently understood exists to monopolize territory and resources, protect an artificially privileged ruling class, expand the power of said class and subjugate and exploit subjects through force against those who ignore the artificial boundaries.

Current State democracy and anarchistic democracy are as different as night and day.

Agreed.

I agree. Syndicalism seems the most viable option in that vein. Though democracy in the state is first order aggressive and second order democratic while a democracy under anarchy would be first order voluntaristic and second order democratic. I don't see democracy as necessarily an ideal to strive for but I'd rather be part of a workplace syndicate (is that the right word) than vote.
